The whole idea came from the movie Disney-Pixar movie Up, which she showed in her classroom twice. In that film, a dog wears "the cone of shame" as a form of punishment.

In a letter recommending that Bailey-Cutkomp be fired, Pasco Superintendent Heather Fiorentino writes, "Ms. Bailey-Cutkomp, your actions show extremely poor judgment and concern me for several reasons. I am stunned that you would put dog collars on students for any reason.

"I am very concerned that you used this collar to punish and embarrass students in front of their peers."

But there's mixed reaction from students and parents about this. 10 News spoke with a student who actually wore the collar. She says it was all a joke, and she feels terrible that this teacher might be fired.
